Provisioning Storage Volumes and Performance Policies Workflow
The following table describes the workflow for provisioning volumes and performance policies on your array:
| Step | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Create a Volume | You can create either iSCSI or Fibre Channel volumes. When a volume is created, the only mandatory options are the name and the volume size. Additional settings, for example, the threshold values for volume and snapshot reserves, quotas, and warning levels, can be set after the volume is created using the --edit option with the vol command. |
| 2. | Create a Performance Policy | A performance policy helps optimize the performance of the volume based on the characteristics of the application using the volume. |
